Sadly, Rain not having a low hit combo starter and the necessity to use meter to make some of his specials more effective... Not feeling his gameplay.
Baraka steps on your foot and it's a low hit.
Nightwolf steps on your foot and it's a high hit.
Quan Chi kicks you in the shin and it's a low hit.
Rain kicks you in the shin and it's a high hit.
NRS is just soooo sloppy it disgusts me. This missing link takes away Rain's ability to be a contender ( Bastards ). Well... His geyser is a great anti air, The lightning is hit or miss on jumping opponents. Roundhouse can be canceled into any other special ( That's cool, If you play on a stick ). Gonna keep messing with him, Not giving up on him yet ( Love his character design ). But...
Gameplay wise, He's looking more flashy than scary.

You can, it's just a little tricky.

Also, somewhat predictably, his P2 color looks nicer, with more saturated purples and blues (look at his vest design).
Why can't we select these colors like the other characters?!
It's not fair! :'-(

Awesome, works great... thanks man! You should get DP'd for that
On a side-note, Kitana's MKII P2 color-
it *sucks* that it's not the silver color it was then
However, it *rules* that it's the color P1 actually was,
much closer than the P1 version, IMO. Glad for that, at least!
EDIT: Interesting- you can charge the Roundhouse!
It doesn't change the damage on the normal version, but the EX version gets the armor seen in the video.
Also, I found a 25% combo with his specials even n00bs can do-
Jumping 2, 2 Lightning, Roundhouse, (Uppercut/Geyser Kick)
And to put that in X-Ray form (43%)-
Jumping 2, 2, Lightning, Roundhouse, X-Ray, (Uppercut/Geyser Kick)
Just doing initial tests, it would seem that damage scaling does *not* favor our friend Rain- the Bubble does 0% damage (unless it's Enhanced), and the Lightning only does 3%, non-EX. Adding these moves to your combos just "waters them down," har har.
Me too, man!
Even if it doesn't turn out to be the most useful move ever,
it will *always* be my favorite Mortal Kombat Special Move
Also, I just noticed you deliver pizza... I did that for 5 years.

Some notes:
I *love* his ending!
Glad I didn't spoil it
He is not slow, per se, but he has some slow recoveries.
His moves are indeed weaker than most, without the H20 Boost.
I wish he didn't have that move and were just a smidge stronger
Geyser Kick is a very fun and useful addition to Rain's Repertoire:
It's a *much* flashier way to end a combo than an uppercut
His X-Ray may be bland on its own, but it is arguably the best X-Ray in the game, and the easiest to combo into and out of. I'm just putting that out there.
Like the other DLC characters, he has two *great* fatalities (but the bubble wins, no queston!)
They dropped the ball on his Babality. Oh well.
Is it just me, or does his Super Meter rise faster than other characters?
Also, I can't shake the feeling that Water Jet move is a nod to He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named (pink dude from SF)-
how embarrassing is it to be defeated by a spray of water?!
Most importantly, he has pretty much all the same linked-Special combos.
so I can catch them with Lightning, Bubble them over, Roundhouse their ass, then uppercut! Or, Bubble, Lightning, Roundhouse, Geyser Kick
(insert your own extra pokes where necessary)
All-in-all, he's not an easy character to master,
but *very*, very capable in experienced hands.
I can't wait to Train with Rain until I can pull off massive combos like Noobsaibot5
YAAAAY!!!!
I iz happy and satisfied.
My Prince is the top-notch fighter he should be!
Yep, I am too. Not sure if it's possible. You *can* hit with the lightning first and follow with the Roundhouse (as long as you haven't already used the lightning).
Yeah, I thought that back in MKT. But I like the Lightning better, since you can see its hitbox
And yes, I am *very* happy, as a Rain fan.
I wasn't hoping for the most user-friendly character of the bunch,
I was hoping for someone with flashy combos straight outta MKT,
and that's more or less what I got (and BETTER!)

question though. Is anyone else having trouble timing his bubble into the roundhouse?

I feel that he has a little hint of Ermac in him because of the Lightning Strike, since it bounces the person in the air for a free hit.

What SF character are you talking about?

Ol' whats-his-name with the pink Gi, the Steven Seagal ponytail, and the shitty fireball.
He has (now almost) *NOTHING* in common with Rain,
aside from both having been labeled as "joke" characters,
so his name kinda slipped my mind

With two bars of meter he can do 63% damage and 10 hits.
Enhanced H20, jump forward 1, 4,3, lightning, 4,3 roundhouse, 4,3 enhanced jet spray.
Another combo I managed to pull off was the same as above, but instead of the jet spray, I used his xray and followed up with a geyser kick. 15 hits and 78% damage, but can only be done with infinite meter.
A nifty little thing I noticed is that he'll glow completely purple from head to toe if you use his enhanced lightning during his enhanced H20 :)

That trick is indeed nifty- I just tried it, and you can do it after using the regular H20, but it doesn't last as long
That combo sounds amazing- I shall have to practice it. Many Thanks!

As am I. Maybe they "fixed" that?
On another note, is anybody else feeling like he gains super meter faster than other characters?
I'm able to do 2 X-Rays per round with Rain, *frequently*...
